If you are looking for an explanation on what we do here at iDGi and/or a breakdown on the history of the story we have so-far uncovered... please, continue reading.
The story of CONSORTIUM starts within a parallel dimension from our own - in the year 2028. An interdimensional-seeing A.I., dubbed "K-1" or "Henry," has just been constructed by the Worldview Industries corporation. Worldview claim they have built this A.I. to help usher in a new age of peace and prosperity. They say it will grow and learn to lead a global peacekeeping organization named the Consortium, a force capable of policing the entire planet through the use of highly advanced orbit-capable aircraft. Opposing the K-1 entity are factions, such as the Guardian Church, who would stop at nothing to convince our world of its true purpose; its real plans for the human race in ALL world parallel to our own.
Only one thing is for certain: we do not know for sure Who We Can Trust. All evidence we have gathered supports the claims on both sides and we have no way of knowing who is telling the truth. Is the Consortium really the peaceful force of good they claim to be? Or are they actually run by a power-hungry A.I. with its sights on controlling the human race? Is the Guardian Church really a cult, hell-bent on having us worship a far away race of alien light-beings? Or are they actually the one force in the world capable of stopping the Consortium threat, and bringing us together in peace and harmony? Let's go back a little bit. Back to OUR world/dimension. The year is 2010. A man named Vidal Desertch invents a satellite, named iDGi-1, which is capable of opening a rift in time and space, between their world and ours. Anyone with an internet connection could then access this rift (in a highly limited and distorted fashion), and travel through it, using a home computer.
For over two years we traveled through the rift and experienced all we could from a limited perspective. We travelled into the consciousness of an A.I. known as Henry, or K-1. This is the Consortium King in his infancy - you are connecting into the mind of a brand new A.I. who is only just beginning to form his own consciousness.
This A.I. named Henry had been expecting our arrival, and so created a 'desktop screen' which we are able to explore, much like an early-90's version of Windows. At first Henry did not understand who or what we were, and so was curious about us. We first had to traverse simple 'games' the A.I. had setup for us to play - tests - and then soon after that, we received information on their world and the people within it.
Soon into our explorations, we realized there was another faction within their world - the Guardian Church - who had managed to hack the A.I. known as Henry, and they too began communicating with us and sending us their version of events. They claimed horrible things, such as Henry being the development site of a device called a Motor Chip; once installed into the mind of a human being, the Motor Chip would give Henry complete control over that human being. Think armies of thousands, even millions of people, perfectly in-sync and running through a single hive-mind. They would be unstoppable. The Church also claim that Worldview Industries founder, David Schelter (creator of the K-1 machine) is more than he appears to be...
For two years, their world seemed to move parallel with ours - January 1st, 2010 for us, was January 1st, 2028 for them. Time moved in tandem, only they were exactly 18 years into the future.
And then around mid-2012, we began receiving information through the quantum stream. Someone was sending us highly scrambled packets of information. Among other things, hidden within these packets was instructions for the iDGi-1 satellite. Someone was sending us upgrade instructions, and it didn't take long to realize that this upgrade would fundamentally change the way we travel between their world and ours. Instead of connecting into the limited and bias consciousness of K-1 / The King / Henry... we could begin connecting into the mind of a very special human being from their world, a man only known as Bishop Six.
See THIS POST for an introduction to talking about this "3D connection." And then also see THIS POST which came directly after our very first time exploring the new connection method!
Along with the satellite upgrade information, we also started to receive scrambled images. After decoding the images, they turned out to be news articles, mission reports, blogs, images and schematics for equipment, etc, etc... all things we believe SOMEONE wants us to see, from their world. See these "Findings Posts" HERE.
We like to THINK it is Henry sending us these packages, but we are in no way certain. The images mostly speak of their world's history, people, events - a seemingly random smattering of information. We believe every piece of information given to us, was given to us for a reason - to prepare us, perhaps? To HELP US, once we finally complete these upgrades and allow unrestricted travel into their world?
